Final answer:

An implicit premise is a necessary premise in an argument that is not explicitly stated but is required to support the conclusion.


Explanation:

Implicit premise is a premise that is not explicitly stated in an argument but is necessary to support the conclusion. It relies on implied messages rather than being directly stated, aiding in completing the logical structure of the argument.

For example, in the argument 'All humans are mortal; Socrates is a human; therefore, Socrates is mortal,' the implicit premise is that 'Socrates is a human.'

Understanding implicit premises is crucial in analyzing arguments and identifying the unspoken assumptions that connect the presented premises to the conclusion.
